[Android 5.0] Straight from source ROM

Hey guys,
So here is a straight from source build of Android L, 5.0. I have not done anything beside build it from source and flash it. I have not done extensive testing on it.
So anyways, here is the link:
http://d-h.st/zi0
I have not included gapps or anything else. They will be coming soon. This build is primarily to play around with. I would not consider this a daily driver.
Issues:
Probably a ton, seeing as I have only checked if it boots.
I am not responsible for any issues this may cause or anything else that may happen to your tablet as a result of this.
I also have a ton of schoolwork and other things that keep popping up, so my support may be iffy. Please bear with me or go back to 4.4.4.
Here is a screenshot for proof:

Future Plans for this Rom:
GApps are not yet possible on Lollipop as far as I can work out, due to the fact that baksmali and smali do not appear to play nicely with ART odex files. I will be rebuild the rom to be odexed and then including a gapps package.

Hmm..let me know if you still have issues, because I was able to sideload on my device

Awesome!!
When first booted you need to erase it because it is encrypted. But after that it works (for now) like a charm. Wifi working, sound working.
The only problem so far is that after I installed the Play Store it didn't want to open but the Amazon app store works fine.

I am missing alot of the google stuff, which is probably why none of that works
That will come shortly, I just need to redo a lot of my vendor files and such to get gapps to be built in.

It worked even though it said no OS
first boot takes awhile but it works!

Confirmed it works.
Sideloading gapps for cyanogenmod 11 and hoping they auto update does not work. Worth a shot though. Time to reflash.

Woah, thanks a lot
Btw, how do I sideload gapps? (especially play store)
Since I think it won't be just installing apk, isn't it?

Working great! I think performance is even better than kitkat
Wi-Fi also working (maybe bluetooth, nfc and gps too)

Flashing GApps is the solution. Sadly, there isn't a package for Lollipop GApps yet.

I am currently working on the gapps, right now i have fixed my own build process and am getting a nexus 9 dump to try and fix it up.

Yay!

Works great, now waiting for gapps
thanks

Gapps mostly work fine if you edit updater.script
I've only had issue with the keyboard crashing so I'd suggest removing it from the gapps package before flashing.

Woah
I can't wait for the final version, this one, using 4.4.4 binaries, is crazy smooth. Google outdid theirselves on the optimization department.

Awesome work, think im gonna givebthis a try atbwork tomorrow.

What does work and what doesn't

So far, everything seems to be working. Have to check camera yet though.

I cant seem to get much else to go with it, but I will share my findings.
I can get TWRP to install,but then I get a bootloop.
If you use the Nexus Root Toolkit v 1.9.3 and "Root" with custom recovery checked. It freezes after trying to temporarily boot the modified boot image.
Hard reset the tablet and boot normally. The toolkit should reboot your tablet back into the bootloader and into TWRP, but this is only good for one boot.
If you mount /system and run a fix permissions, then it stays installed, but never gets past the boot screen.
It boots far enough to get into ADB.
Not sure what to try next though...
I was thinking if we could get a flashable zip without the stock recovery, then we may be able to keep TWRP, but I am not familiarwith building the flashable zips.

Wait, So how do you flash the google play services after you lose TWRP?! I don't understand..

[Q] Google search and chrome keep crashing

I own the boost mobile XT1031 model and finally decided to unlock the bootloader and root the device. Everything was going fine. But not Google search and chrome wont work. Search crashes and gives me an option to report it. Chrome and chrome beta fail to connect to the Internet even though other apps such as Facebook, REddit and other Google apps connect just fine. When i go to enable now cars it says that i need to check my Internet connection. The only other thing that has changed is the font is different for some reason. I did install a few xposed modules to change the look and feel, such as Gravitybox, Android L Theme, and tinted status bar. They seemed to have no effect on the device in a negative way. I also had greenify but i only had it hibernating apps i hardly used. If anyone knows what to do to fix this it would be very appreciated.
I would like to add that the issues are still persistent even after factory reseting the phone. I am running stock rom, Would it be possible to get rid of these problems by reflashing the original rom or flashing a custom rom? I am also using TWRP. I do have a backup of before the issues started but that is on my laptop which i won't be near until Wednesday. Thank you again in advance.

I would try flashing back to stock or your original recovery and try the different xposed modules one by one to see which (if any) are causing the issues. Have you tried installing a custom rom?

No custom ROM yet, I was thinking about flashing CM11 but so far have no other plans. I have a backup saved on my computer from before i installed the different modules, would that fix the issue of the crashing apps and font?

It should, but you may want to update your apps to current versions as well after the restore. I don't know how old your backup is, but updating may solve some your issues.
I would definitely resist the urge to try any lollipop roms on the xt1031, as their are numerous connectivity issues at this point for cdma. But there are some great KitKat Roms (CM11 is one of them) available. I'm currently using PA.

Thank you, I resisted the urge and now there is a soak test zip so ill be doing that soon.
I restored the backup, it was 2 days old, and everything is working fine now. Adaway for youtube was the cause of the crashing, as for the font change, i'm not sure.

This is a problem with most 5.1 roms. Mostly after using another audio app like hangouts phone,whatsapp phone,music players and video players. Driver is not released back too phone.Reboot is needed . On a good note, Paranoid Android 5.1.1 has just come out with an update and an audio patch that fixed mine. Hope this helps.

I don't get any signal
My phone after updating it to candy 5(5.1 Lollipop) I can't get any signal?
Please Help!

New to this
This is the best rom I have installed ever since fixing my bricked Skyrocket a couple weeks ago.
Latest Version 5/15:
After installing the latest update the data drops far less frequently... however it is still a good five times every twenty minutes or when I send two or more text messages. I tried rebooting, messing with wifi/airplane mode, removing excess APN's, and using Signal Boosters which are junk. Folders seem to be a bit different and overall rom is a bit more laggy compared to previous version. My recents menu did not work, holding the home button with no response, fixed by turning on OmniSwitch.
Installing SlipLP fixed the data, so I am confident you will figure it out for Candy! If only I digged the look of SlimLP.
Will report back next update, still learning how to Logcat... I will post if I figure it out tonight.
I am not getting any charging or heat issues like the poster above. I did not change to noop prior to writing this.

Found a PERMANENT signal fix!
Apparently this has something to do with the radio being flashed and 5.x.
Here is how you fix it, I have not had one drop in signal since my previous post!
(For AT&T, T-Mobile, possibly others)
1. Download the [UCMC1] I717 AT&T Radio
http://d-h.st/PKI
- official thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2228292
2. Either Clean flash or Recover from a backup of Candy 5.x
3. Install the AT&T Radio
Signal drop is fixed, select your APN and enjoy!
I suggest this for those who are using AT&T Servers, T-Mobile, or etc. If not visit here and find your carrier radio... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1785999
I hope this helps everybody! :good::fingers-crossed:
I am not a professional, I have been flashing custom for a couple years here and there! This is working on my device, I now have ZERO signal drops and perfect signal, please allow OP to further test.

Thanks, yes the UCMC1 radio or newer is needed for this. It is one of the last versions available for the Skyrocket. My Slim threads have this but I didn't see that mentioned here, so I have updated the OP.
Cheers!

Make sure you are using an up-to-date version of GApps. Recommended is Slim's Zero GApps (~60MB), a link to which you can find in the OP.

Google Cards
The google now widget I can't find under the widgets tab is their anyway to retrieve it?

Minor Question
How would you update the 2.53 version to this one?

When you flash the ROM, either the GApps package you flash needs Google Now (might be Google Search, not sure), or you need to install it from the Play Store separately. Voice input on the AOSP/Google keyboards may be missing as well until you do.
I partitioned my Skyrocket to have a 6GB Data partition so the tiny GApps is fine and I can install pretty much all I want for apps. It's quite nice.

Wipe Dalvik and Cache in recovery
Make a nandroid backup
Flash the ROM
Flash either Slim Zero GApps or a very small base GApps package
Reboot
Have fun!

Flashing Potential Issue
I am currently Flashing the ROM using TWRP and everything seems good it's just that its stock on "Patching system unconditionally" It's been on that step for about ten minutes. I did the Cache and Dalvick Cache wipes. So I Don't know what I did wrong.

Then it sounds like there were core changes which may require a full wipe (/data or a factory reset).
I normally clean flash to test, so unless I've made a change that I know requires a full wipe, or coming from another version (5.0 vs. 5.1, etc.) I would suggest to try dirty first and see. If you get stuck, as you have, then I'd go clean.
Sorry for any inconvenience...

Have you wiped /system in the process?
Have you formatted your device with ODIN using a PIT file, or have you used any virtual partitioning?
Post your recovery log. You can export it from TWRP.

[Q] Tmo Samsung S4 (SGH-M919) with Google Play Edition, need help

(this belongs elsewhere but 10 posts...)
I have a rooted S4 and just installed Dandvh's Google Play Edition v.20150919 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2539361) rom. I used TWRP to install, wiping everything but internal storage, then flashed the rom. Installed fine, no errors. Took the usual bit of extra time to boot the first time then up and running clean and stable. The issue is that the OTA Updater app doesn't work, severely limiting my ROM options. It didn't install as part of the rom install, though I'm not sure if it's normal to just get it off the play store. I get an error message about not being compatible with the ROM and can't access it (error message screen cap below). Just in case, I wiped the phone and flashed again just to be sure, same result. The OTA Updater is important as this is where you can change kernals, audioFX stuff, toggle advanced power menus, and quite a bit more. When I used this ROM during the first part of the year OTA Updater worked just fine but I switched off in July to try another ROM so maybe something with the ROM has changed? I tried searching for any comments in the thread to indicate either that something changed with OTA Updater or if anyone else had a similar problem, found nothing. Would appreciate if anyone might know why OTA Updater isn't working or how I might correct it. Thanks.
Edit #1: I haven't changed the model number to SGH-M919 (as seen in the screen cap) in build.prop yet as if I can't get this ROM to work right I'll need to flash something else.
Edit #2: I noted in the patch notes that the ROM was updated for OTA Updater 2.4.2 and I was running 2.5.3 so I uninstalled it and installed 2.4.2. No luck there either.

Recent strange experience with this device

I have a Moto G3 XT1543 and since december I have given this device a second life and have been using it as a secondary phone. I decided to install LOS 14.1 because I feel is better for this device than LOS 17.1. Since then I had been using the phone and installing the updates without problems until a few weeks ago.
I thought I couldn't install the update because my version of TWRP was so out of date. So I decided to install the latest version for this device (twrp-3.5.2_9-0) and I was able to update the rom but it got me a lot of bugs, basically forced close in many processes.
So I decided to do a clean installation but still had a lot of bugs. So I installed previous versions of the rom, including the first one that I installed and worked fine, but it still had a lot of bugs (basically forced close in many processes, as I said before).
So I decided to go back to the TWRP I had before (twrp-3.4.0-0) and the bugs disappeared and I was able to use the rom without problems, but no matter what I do I cannot get youtube working now.
The gapps that I have been installed are open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-xxxxxxxx and I have done all the possible combinations: old gapps with the most recent rom (lineage-14.1-20210829-UNOFFICIAL-osprey), the most recent gapps with the oldest rom I have (lineage-14.1-20201221-UNOFFICIAL-osprey), the oldest rom I have with old gapps and the most recent rom with the most recent gapps, but youtube still doesn't work
As I said before, it doesn't matter what combination I do, even the first one I installed and worked since last december, nor what version of YouTube I have installed, the application closes. As a possible solution I have deleted cache and data of youtube but the problem still. The funny thing is all the applications that I have, including other google apps (chrome, gmail, maps) work without problem.
I have tried alternatives like YT Go, YT Vanced and New Pipe and all three work without problem, but honestly, although they are better alternatives, I don't want to use them.
So does anyone know how to fix this?

I used this weekend for testing and long story short I can use youtube but I have no idea how it was fixed.
But I will tell you about everything I did in case someone in the future is going through a similar situation to mine.
Following the indications that FNetV1 gave me in another post, I downgraded my TWRP version to 3.0.2-r5, then I installed the oldest rom I have (lineage-14.1-20201221) with the oldest gapps I have (open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20210112) but youtube was not working.
So with that same version of TWRP I installed the most recent rom available (lineage-14.1-20210829) with the most recent gapps and still youtube did not work.
So I installed the latest unofficial version that Squid2 developed for this device (twrp-osprey-3.2.3-r1) and then installed the oldest rom I have with the oldest gapps I have. The result was the same, youtube was not working.
I thought the problem was the gapps, so I installed the latest rom available with the most recent gapps but now with the Nano package. But the result was the same, youtube was not working.
So I gave up and for the last time I reinstalled the latest rom avaible with the most recent gapps, again with the pico package and as expected youtube was not working.
The funny thing is after I finished setting up my phone, I restarted it, reinstalled YouTube and voilà, I can now use YouTube without any problem.
As I said at the beginning, I have no idea how the problem was fixed, especially because I also rebooted my phone on several occasions with the previous tests.
So if anyone has an idea what I did wrong from the beginning or how the problem was fixed, feel free to comment.
